For the Desert Eagle | Directive, Battle-Scarred (BS) starts at a float of 0.45 and runs to 1.00. It is a Restricted skin from the Gamma 2 collection, a pistol for both sides.

What the Desert Eagle | Directive looks like in Battle-Scarred

The slide is charcoal black with thin horizontal grooves that run along its whole length. The inserts and streaks are a teal-petrol color. They gather in several panels: at the muzzle, in the middle and at the rear. A small red mark sits at the rear end of the slide. The grip is black with teal highlights, and the dark frame has two round rivets.

Up close you can see parallel lines like a technical grid and a few small rectangular marks. The text can't be read. Valve says the pistol was designed to help the future of law enforcement stop scum.

The wear name is the same, but the condition varies: the 0.45 to 1.00 band is wide. Choose a copy by the lot itself.
